Hi there!

I’m trying to add the markups module into my own module, particularly the ruler button. I’ve worked with the segment editor widget before, but I can’t seem to find as much information about the markups module. (Also, I’m not that familiar with C++). Could someone share some python code with me that allows me to import the markups module into my module?

Thanks!

An entire module cannot be imported into another module, but a module can use any other modules and can add use widgets provided by other modules.

Reusable widgets provided my Markups module are available [here](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/tree/main/Modules/Loadable/Markups/Widgets). These widgets should also be available in Qt Designer, so that you can just drag-and-drop them into your module GUI. If you describe specifically what functionality you need then we may be able to recommend GUI widgets that can be used.
